Forget your notions of jetsetting and excitement, adventure and exploration, today we are talking about the real fight attendant life. Far from the glitz of the short shorts and smoking-in-the-air era, and worlds away from the drama of scripted aviation-themed TV, the truth of the matter is that flight attendant life, a lot of the time, is pretty mundane.

I’m the luckiest girl alive. Earlier this month my mom, niece, and nephew packed up their bags and flew across the country to visit me in San Diego.

Today I’m sharing how I spent 48 hours in London, how it felt to be there without Will, and how I’m feeling now, post-trip. Let the oversharing commence.
